        Not NATO members. Should be interesting to watch the world pull away from America completely should we keep our current attitudes. This won’t end well for the usa

        Ok that was a bit snarkier then I perhaps intended.

        Afaik they had those wars forced on them.

        And that’s the thing. Ideally speaking nobody wants war. That’s a given. But the reality is, when you’re dealing with fascists you don’t have many options.

        If you draw a line in the sand, even a minor one, you’ll have a war or conditions leading up to one. Some lines must be drawn because if you don’t they’ll draw those lines on their conditions.

        If you try being diplomatic and try to coexist it’s only a matter of time until you do get forced into a war.

        If you stand up: war.

        In Europe we recently had a US diplomat making a stink over matters he had no say over. To the point where he clearly was only interested in causing an outrage. And that’s what these assholes want, puppets to dance for them so people are distracted from the Epstein class and to have people do their bidding.

        Removing these is indeed a risky move, but you can’t play nice either.
